This new alliance with local market focus is consistent with Hypor’s mission as “The World’s Local Breeder” and backed by the worldwide leading R & D of Hendrix Genetics.

With a growing demand for Hypor genetics throughout the world, international partnerships are the logical approach to continued supply growth and the LSG facilities are well situated to meet the needs of our current and future American customers,” said van Alst.
Brent Legred, President of LSG Health Sytems, states, ”Maintaining the Gold Standard in high health status through traditional and non-traditional transfer of genetics has been the key focus of our company. Customers appreciate and have complete confidence in the quality of our products arriving at their farms. We now look forward to building upon our success with the introduction of the Hypor program. Utilizing their massive research and product development systems ensures that our extensive distribution network will now reap the benefits of like minded partners.'
